Literally dummy easy. Hire the mod developers. Work WITH them not commanding them. Have better graphics than starfield. Hire a decent writer for the main quest.

Really? Just make the exact same game as Skyrim with better graphics and a new plot, while making it less likely to have bugs and glitches and maybe fix the largest complaints about Skyrim.

Really? After the absolute clownshow that was Starfield, my expectations for TES6 are extremely low.

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 67 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I had low expectations before, but Starfield killed them completely. Starfield actually helped me get over worrying about TES6, because I just lost interest.

My expectations for a TES game are low by default. They just provide the world, the modders provide the game.

Maybe they shouldn't use marketers. From what I see, marketers are the reason for unreal hype. Look at cyberpunk, marketers told poeple that it was going to be basically a real life simulator and then people were upset that it was only a really fun RPG. (Aside from the launch issues this was also a big thing at launch).

All modern games hype is directly because of marketers.

Here's a novel thing. Just show us what the game is like. No stupid marketing lingo, no flashy graphics, just what the game is like. Give us the opening mission. There, pay me a marketing fee. No stupid high expectations, no lying about features that don't actually exist, just telling the consumer honestly what they're buying.

The adoring fan and characters like claptrap are proof that I would never make it as lead designer for game sequels. I would never include a character like those and think to myself "This needs to be more than an annoying minor side character, I need to bring them closer to begin to the identity of the games."

It’s too late for me to care. I grew up with TES. I played daggerfall when I was 15 on my pentium. Then every few years a new amazing game came out. Then after sky rim it stopped. I’m in my 40s now and don’t have the time. This game should have come out in 2016 at the latest.

I think at this point I am more excited for, and have higher expectations of, Skywind.

[–] SasquatchCosmonaut@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Honestly if they had just put a little more thought into the loot progression and made a couple systems more interesting it would have been a much better game.

The randomized empty open world planets wasn't great but they also did that in Daggerfall so I don't think it was totally unprecedented and still had some value if there was a better incentive to explore (in my opinion better and more interesting loot would have kept me exploring).

What pissed me off the most was the fact that when you built the armillary it literally showed up on the OUTSIDE of your spaceship and you couldn't build it indoors in your settlements. What the fuck? You literally killed people for some of those artifacts. Why would you keep them outside for fucks sake?

I don't blame the MD tbh, if I had to try and make Starfield worth buying I'd fucking quit

Fire Emil and you'll be on a good start to un-fucking yourselves, Bethesda

I expect nothing and I know that they will still dissapoont me. Marketing isn't weeping because they don't know how to sell the expectation, they weep because they don't know how they can convince anyone to even look at that game.
